Common Types of Iron in Your Water
There are several types of iron that can occur in the water supply in West Michigan, either naturally or through undetected leaks and cracks in the pipes. These include:
Clear water iron
Also called ferrous iron, this type of iron dissolves and is invisible in water, but turns reddish-brown when exposed to air.
Red water iron
If you’ve ever had brown or rusty water coming out of your pipes, this was probably the culprit.
Iron bacteria
This type of bacteria feeds on iron and creates a buildup of slime on your fixtures and pipes.
Tannins
Combined with iron, these create stubborn stains and are hard to filter out.

Iron in Your Water Doesn’t Just Stink
Rust in your water doesn’t just stink. It can stain sinks, ruin clothing, and leave your hair and skin feeling off. When iron fosters bacterial growth, it can clog pipes and water heaters. Add sulfur into the mix, and now you’ve got a house that smells like rotten eggs.
